Whats the next step??? (helping a drug addict)?!
Question: Whats the next step.?.?.? (helping a drug addict).?
I told my boyfriend that i would leave if he did not stop with his 'partying ways', and yes i mean serious with the drugs and alcohol... he said he doesnt want to lose me and is willing to change for me, but he needs outside help.
i have told him that i will not put up with it any longer but i am willing to help him get himself together. if he shows he doesnt really care and doesnt really want to change, im gone.
anyway, i wanna know where we should start looking for help.?
we live in South Australia, should we start by just going to see a GP or where do we look for groups that get together and talk about it... i dont know, i would just like some suggestions on where to start.
thanx in advance!

Help him find something fun and entertaining to do that will replace use of drugs and alcohol. If he goes to a party, go with him, make sure if he has a drink- that it's only minumal. Good luck!Health Question & Answer
